Populations of illegal immigrants large enough for the U.S. Census Bureau to count have moved into 42 states, according to a new analysis of the 11.3 million in America.

About 1.7 million live in just four California counties alone, Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego and Riverside.

And in two non-border counties, Cook in Illinois and Queens in New York, there are over 500,000 illegals.

In a series of maps drawn from federal data, the Migration Policy Institute report titled Settling In: A Profile of the Unauthorized Immigrant Population in the United States, shows where the illegal immigrants are, how long they have been in the United States, and which country has sent the most. That title goes to Mexico. There are nearly six million illegal immigrants from Mexico in the country.

Whats more, the group said that more than half of all illegal immigrants have lived in the United States for at least 10 years, based on Census data.

Which is why the D’s fight so hard for them - they give areas with large illegal population an over-representation of the area’s citizens in the House. The numbers voting in some of the districts is simply amazing when compared to areas without large numbers of illegals - we have much less clout.

Yeah their numbers first inflate the districts, but then in California, there’s nothing whatsoever to stop them from voting. They just vote absentee and provisional, and they then wait until after the election to submit just enough of them to put them over the top. There needs to be a national standard of verifying citizenship for voting that applies to all elections for federal offices. I don’t really see much hope for the country over the long term if that doesn’t happen.
